Featured Quotes:

I think for an institution to not take stock, to not be willing to ask the hard questions, to not be willing to really take a look at itself…what it does well? Who it serves? Is there another population it should be serving? Are there opportunities being missed? Are there things the institution is doing, programs it’s delivering, that are not as effective, are not resonating and capturing the population needed? I think each and every…almost each and every institution is in a position now to have to really take stock of themselves and ask those tough questions. I know my institution is currently in a position of doing that.
Stephanie Niles, Ohio Wesleyan University

We can’t think about just next year or just three years from now, but if we want to sustain the institution for 20, 30, 50 years and beyond, that’s going to be somewhat dependent on the decisions that we make now.
Stephanie Niles, Ohio Wesleyan University
